Nobody's approached me for an alliance, yet. I normally don't go and approach others cause if you say the wrong name of someone to bring into the alliance, they could be afraid of saying "no" about that person and may just half-heartedly agree to the alliance with no intention of keeping it. I normally let people come to me for an alliance and I'll be loyal to them as long as I feel they'll be loyal to me.
However, after the first round, no one's asked me for an alliance, so I should probably take the initiative before a solid one forms that excludes me.
I've talked on some level to everyone in my tribe, so there is no one I dislike and no one I'm against aligning with. That said, I think I want to approach Ashley, Matt, and Jay for an alliance. Matt and Jay were very organized in our first challenge and a big reason we scored so many points. I don't care if they'll be threats in the individual portion of the game. I want to make it there with the numbers, so aligning with the strong seems like a good way to do that. Also, it would help me having bigger targets than me on my side at the merge. I think I'll be strong, but Jat and Matt seem like the type that will take that attention. When it comes to Ashley, she's still active and a good member of our tribe in challenges (from what I can tell so far). She's also the person I've talked to the most on the tribe and she reminds me a lot of Jenna from CBS4/All Stars (even though Jenna and I have talked and Jenna claims to not be in the game). So, even though Ashley isn't Jenna, I get the same vibe from them and I like that.
The four of us is not enough for a majority in the tribe, though, so a fifth would be needed. I'd feel good with JT or Brandon, possibly even Lisa. Lisa would make me a bit more nervous since I don't feel as strong of a connection to her, yet, and she could side with other people in an alliance over me.
Then again, this is all very early and there's still a lot of game left to play, so my feelings on people and who I may ultimately be close with could very easily change. I just know that I need to get something started soon before I'm left out in the cold.
Oh, and I'm disappointed in how I'm playing my character. I was inspired when I chose to be Abi-Maria, but for some reason, I just can't get into character.
